iQueue for Virtual Care: Fall Prevention
Reduce falls and improve hospital financials with Virtual Observation, powered by ambient intelligence.
Get StartedHow can we help you.
Virtual Observation combines ambient intelligence with tools that help observers monitor, engage, and redirect patients or escalate to the bedside for fall prevention and other patient safety events. Ambient intelligence watches for falls and wandering without constant in-room staff presence. Hospitals protect vulnerable patients, improve response times, and free clinical teams to focus on higher-value care.
Reduce Falls
70-90% reduction in reported fall rates across rural and urban settings with a variety of patient types and supported staffing models.
Reduce Costs
Ambient intelligence and Infinity Watch lower the cost per monitored hour by 3-10X compared with 1:1 sitters.
Save Nursing Time
Ambient intelligence and virtual observers handle most situations that previously required bedside alarms.
Strategic Fall Prevention Programs
~1/2 of patients are high risk but programs watch only a handful. Ambient intelligence makes it cost effective to support all of them.
Current Tele-Sitting Models Limit Usage to ~5% of Patients
~40-50% of hospital patients are at risk for falls, but only the top 5% receive monitoring due to the cost of current Tele-Sitting.
Each year, roughly 700,000 to 1 million patient falls occur in U.S. hospitals resulting in around 250,000 injuries and up to 11,000 deaths.

Legacy Virtual Sitting Misses the Mark
Fall prevention in hospitals is more critical than ever. Patient age and acuity are rising (higher risk), financial penalties are more burdensome, and staff shortages more severe. Legacy solutions have not risen to the challenge — leaving hospitals without cost effective approaches to systematically reducing the rate of falls and their severity.
Legacy virtual sitting replaces a bedside sitter with a camera and a remote human monitor. While this can reduce staffing costs, the remote monitor often watches multiple patients at once, response times increase, and the system relies entirely on human vigilance.
With modern technology, we can do better.
The Next Generation of Fall Prevention
Virtual Observation's zero-cost hardware model reduces the technology cost of monitoring patients for potential falls. AI Nudge for falls turns virtual sitting into a hospital-wide fall prevention strategy.
Ambient intelligence nudges virtual observers to the right patients. With workforce management tools, strong usability, and a flexible cloud-based system, hospitals can cost effectively monitor every high-risk fall patient.

Fall Reduction Financial ROI Drives Higher Adoption
Ambient intelligence — Instantly Nudges Attention to High Risk Patients
Advanced computer vision detects early signs of patients getting out of the bed or chair and guides staff to intervene before a fall occurs.
Ambient intelligence for Fall Prevention
Always watching. AI triggers a nudge when a patient is alone and movement exiting the bed or chair is detected, and brings staff attention to the room right away.
Infinity Watch Extends Observer Capacity
Ambient intelligence watches every patient at the same time, while observers keep the human side of care. Virtual sitting becomes strategic fall prevention.
Single Click Intervention
Virtual observers can quickly intervene before an adverse event occurs with single click intervention to talk to the patient, listen to the room or activate your existing Nurse Call Alarm.
Patient Assignments / Team Management
Assign patients with the built-in assignment tools, or filter by patient location and AI-identified attributes to find patients at elevated risk.
Real Time Reporting and Insights
Embedded best practices and custom reporting in every aspect of usage, adoption, and patient trends to manage real time performance or explore trends of adoption.
Industry First — Flight Simulator for Training
Preset scenarios can be configured and utilized to train new monitors, evaluate proficiency in patient interaction. Virtual monitors can learn through training and be ready for increasingly complex patient scenarios.
